Stunning looking bow, and those tips are out of this world.

Mighty fine work Simson. You make some great stuff.
I love the look of Black Locust. One of the prettier woods.

I think those are the coolest tips I've ever seen on a bow! I wouldn't really call them 'levers' per say because I don't think they're long enough to provide the advantage, but they are certainly outside the box. Nicely done! Your bows are always a pleasure to view.

THAT IS AWESOME! 
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

Beautiful bow and amazing color in the wood.  Bet it will zing an arrow.  Craftsmanship to envy.  Great work.

Thanks all for your nice comments, guys!

Very nice bow! Any pics of handle splice? Beauty!

Sorry, no pics. But it's a simple z-splice

Yeah, you and blackhawk are right  - it isn't that long that it can be called a lever. I would have made it longer if I have had a longer billet. I haven't made a real mollegabet so far, but sometime I will do one for sure.

Like all of your bows, the tiller on this one is perfect. You must really have an eye for it.

Lovely bow.
